I am using an F1 steering box in my '27 T Tudor Project. However I need to rebuild it(rust in the bearings). I am not familiar with these boxes. I am unable to identify the year, application, or ratio on this box. I have pictures below hoping that some of our friends here can identify it so I can order parts. Number on the box casting is: 7RC-3559. I guess the 15-8-49 is date? Sector gear is a roller type. The ratio is supposed to be stamped on the end of the worm gear. It's an "S", a code I guess.
Check this out, looks like there's one kit for '48-52! http://www.cmwtrucks.com/index.php/...8-52-ford-truck-steering-box-rebuild-kit.html KK
